Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: Why should the Democrats object to Towne simply because he once was a Republi can. So ivas Bryan, and Bryan has been a Populist, also, and a Weaverite Greenbacker, besides. Both of them are free silverites, and the men of that faith will make the nomination. Officials at Washington are finding necessary to declare daily that we are not at war with China, This is done .perhaps to avoid a possibility of mis take on the part of those who read the lists of killed and wounded which ap pear from day to day In the newspapers. The hardest task before the Kansas City convention is the formation of a platform which will be acceptable to both the Gold Democrats and the Silver Republicans. It must be built on the plan of the negro's trap which was war ranted to catch a coon "a-comln' and a-goin'." When the amount of liquid refresh ments taken on board the Tammany train, before the start for Kansas City made, is taken into consideration. It would not be surprising if Kansas City should feel that the Tiger is not bringing to the convention town a thirst of te sixe which it had reason to ex pect. Philadelphia may be slow In some things, but not on the matter of knock ing on the census enumeration. As an evidence of thi3 the following is taken from the North American: Census statistics gathered by incom petent and indifferent persons are worse than useless; they are mischievously misleading. The census was taken in Philadelphia by men of that sort, and it is a farce in its results. Philadelphia is credited with from 100,000 to 150.000 less population than she actually has, and If such a false count is allowed to stand as the census of the city, she will lose her rightful place among the great cities of the country. Chicago News: The famous Trans Missouri Freight association decision of the supreme court was said to have thrown the railroads back into a "com petitive" state. But a railroad passen ger association has decreed that any road running a train between New Tork and Chicago in less than 2S hours must charge $4 above the regular fare. That does not look like competition. An as sociation sufficiently powerful to compel the rich and enterprising roads to fore go the advantage of their enterprise is hardly the shorn, crippled and decrepit creature that its members have repre sented it as being. ROOSEVELT THANKS KANSAS. Now that it Is all over Governor Roosevelt is glad It happened. At least that is what he told the people of Law rence. In a speech at that place yester day he said: "My fellow citizens: I am doubly glad to come here to Kansas, because it was Kansas that had more to do than anything with my being nominated for vice president." It will be remembered that the gov ernor made a hard fight against the nomination which finally overpowered him. It is not usual to receive thanks for doing something to a person to which he strongly objects. OWE WAT TO MAKE CRIMINALS In this city on Wednesday James Kelly, 14 years of age, and William Col lier, 15 years, were arrested and ar raigned before Magistrate Thornton.The crime with which they were charged was swimming in the Bchuylkill river, near the Spring Garden street bridge. There are no public bath houses in that section, and the boys as boys will take to the water to get clean and cool. For this the Magistrate committed them to jail for five days. It has been shown that one of the easiest ways to make criminals is to send boys to pris on. The fact itself and the associations of the jail often break, the spirit or cor rupt the habits of boys who might oth erwise grow up to be good citizens. To send these two boys to Jail for go ing in bathing on the hottest day of the year, when the city did not furnish bathing houses, was a wretched piece of business. Philadelphia North Ameri can. The foregoing la commended to the consideration of the police authorities of the capital of Kansas. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. 'A' practical joke should be handled as cautiously as a double-barreled gun. J, boy in the family always comes In handy when the pie left over isn't enough to save. When a wedding has an arch and a flower girl it can properly be referred to aa an "event." Usually when you pass two women you can hear one ask: "Did you make It without a pattern?" A man who amounts to anything soon realizes that swearing is a very bad habit, and tries to quit it. There are some people so particularly vicious that when they find that a singer is poor, they encore her. A half doien different forks and spoons at a plate will not help a man to eat corn off the cob gracefully. One girl In every neighborhood who Is able to play a wedding march is all the musician the neighborhood needs. An Atchison woman runs around the neighborhood so much and in such ap parent excitement that she Is called the fire brigade. When a woman has a dollar to spend on groceries she is a poor manager if she can't arrange to save some of It to spend at a dry goods store. An Atchison woman, who imagines that she always says the right thing, has a self-satisfied way of saying it which makes hei acquaintances wish she would say the wrong thing. Speaking of hard luck, how would you like to be a spring chicken and spend Saturday in a coop in front of a grocery store, with the probability staring you in the face of frying next day? An Atchison woman, who three days ago was considered the most popular woman in town, has not one friend left: instead of sympathizing with her friends, as she has heretofore, she began telling them her troubles. Occasionally the women go around to the saloons, and warn the keepers not to sell their husbands any beer. A man got even today by going around to the dry goods stores and warning the pro prietors not to sell anything to his wife. Thin people do a good deal more kicking about being thin than fat peo pie do about being fat, and yet thin people ought to have a much better time; they are told to eat more, drink more and sleep more, while fat peo ple are told to eat less, drink less and sleep less. An Atchison man was a drunkard and his wife was a loafer. The habit grew on both, and finally the man said to the woman: "Sarah, one of us has got to go to worT and make the living. They drew straws and the man won, and his wife Is now taking in boarders. POINTED PARAGRAPH 3 From the Chicago News. An obstinate Quaker is truly a firm friend. Troubles, like when nursed. babies, grow larger The best of friends must part unless they are bald. The man who doesn't enjoy health ought to be a doctor. good Even an ill-mannered person Is some times compelled to bow to necessity. A straight tip: Drop a nickle in the slot and see yourself lose 5 cents. The man who thinks he Is usually wise is usually considered a fool by others. A man is seldom justified in going to law unless he has more money than he needs. When a man gives his satanical ma jesty his due it is usually at the ex pense of his other creditors. Business talk Is a matter of fact, gossip is a matter of fib, and society conversation is no matter at alL It is what a man pays rather than what he owes that keeps him poor, and It is what he saves rather than what he makes that causes him to dodge the tax assessor. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. TFrom the Philadelphia Record. When the professional beggar asks for help he means succor. Despite her name, the grass widow is usually far from being green. Some people won't go to the Paris ex position because French is all Greek to them. The girl who promenades the beach In a bathing suit is seldom a shrinking creature. Self praise may be no recommenda tion, but lots of people succeed without recommendations. When an intoxicated, man asks for an iced drkik and he gets flagged it must be a sort of cold wave. Some men are born with hands, the employer acquires hands, and the poker player has hands thrust upon him. De Tanque Why does Guzzler's wife wear mourning? O'Soaque I supose because he's usually dead to the world. Blobbs Borrowell has a remarkable memory. Slobbs Yes; he gets along very well by just remembering to for get. A production of "Midsummer Night's Dream" this kind of weather would probably be a frost, paradoxical as it might seem. Editor (glancing at manuscript) We don't care for dialect stories. Contrib utor This isn't a dialect story. It's a technical article on golf. Mugsrins Wigwag says we are going to have a thunderstorm tonight. Pug gins How does he know? Muggins I guess he must be a lightning calcula tor. It was in the restaurant. "What will Mary have?" asked the man who was doing the ordering. "A little lamb." replied Mary. She was a girl who did not believe in shattering the old tradi tions. "I think I'll take a day off," remarked the facetious office boy, as he tore a leaf from the calendar. "I guess you can take a permanent leave of absence," remarked the boss, who had. come In unexpectedly. We cannot take our wealth beyond the grave. This is a lesson wise men all should lea rn. Tis only fools and spendthrifts who be have As though their money was but made to burn. Oklahoma City and Return 99.76 via the Santa Fa, Account Second Annual Reunion of Roosevelt's Rough Riders.

The steamer Rober Dollar has arrived In port. Cap tain Charles Enrfson, who brought her from Alaska, states- that he was de- layed five days at Dutch Harbor by reason of a shortase of coal. There were but three passengers aboard. The Dollar brings the first authentic news from Sir.rock. Purser Kennedy says that when they left there it was demonstrated that the point was des tined to develop into a thriving camp. Several hundred miners are now en gaged on the beach. Speaking of the beach line. Captain Enefson states that the squateers are still occupying the government ground but that there is no doubt that they are entirely wrong. The authorities and everybody, else are awaiting the arrival of General Randall to settle all disputes. The expectation is that the beach line will be cleared of squatters by force if necessary. Town lots are bringing all the way from $5,000 to $10,000 and unusually excellent sites are sold for more. There is a great demand for realty. Captain Enefson states that but little news has been received from he creek district at the time he left. The frost is still in the ground and active work had hardly commenced. W. F. Wilcox, one of the passengers, is a gov ernment employe and has recently com pleted a survey of the trail inland via Katmai, which was discovered by Dep uty Land Surveyor Herman, R. Smith. STARTED A PAXIC. Thunderstorm in Chicago Follow In tense Heat. Chicago, July 3. A thunderstorm that suddenly burst upon Chicago last mgnt after a day of torried weather, tore down the tent3 at the Khorassan, loo mis and Congers streets, caused a panic among three thousand persons ana am much damage to property and Individ uals throughout the city. Five deaths and numerous prostrations resulted from the intense heat preceding the storm. It was several degrees the hottest day this year, the thermometer regis tering 91 at 4 o'clock.

Nevada. There were other representatives of the different parties present. The object of the meeting was to form the basis of an agreement between the three aiiiea parties as to a vice presidential candi date. The conference resulted practically in a decision to incorporate a specific dec laration for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 in the democratic platform. No agreement was reached in the vice presidency. MAYOR INDICTED. Also Alderman by a New York Grand Jury. Syracuse, N. Y., July 3.

Smith presiding, which was appointed by Governor Roosevelt to investigate charges of municipal corruption, etc., today re ported to the court two tills for conspir acy in paying accounts from wrong funds against Mayor James K.

The finance committee in charge of the Santa Fe shop site matter, again visited the properties concerned yester day and today.

Charles A. Towne was Introduced as the next vice president and received an ovation. The subject of his address was "Some Republican Inconsistencies on the money Question." The Republican party, he said, is the parent or the greenback and tne green back has been done : to death in the house where it was born. In other words, said Mr. Towne. the Republican party had about faced on all the issues which at one time had made it a party to be honored. The revolt of the Repub lican party against public interests had driven Silver Republicans, of whom the speaker was one, out of tne pariy. THREE TONS OF GOLD.

A PLAN THAT FAILED. From the Detroit Free Press. "My wife Is naad and I don't blame her, and I'll tell you why," said Jones yester day. "We have kept house for twenty years, and I figure that during that time we have had at least eighty hired girls, good, bad and indifferent, but mostly bad. Several years ago Mrs. Jones was fortun ates enough to secure a jewel of a girl: but she was indiscreet enough to brag about it around the neighborhood, with the result that one of the neighbors en ticed her away, under promise of paying her higher wages, and my wife has not forgiven the woman that did It to this day. Ever since she has had a dream that some day she would be lucky enough to draw another prize in the hired girl mar ket, and when she did she had her plans all laid to keep her. "Well, the other day the jewel was se cured, and Mrs. Jones simply hugged her self with delight when she realized what n treasure she possessed. . "The girl had only been with us one week when Mrs. Blank, one of our neigh bors, called and casually remarked that she saw that we had ajiother girl. " 'Yes.' answered Mrs. Jones with a sigh. 'I'm only going to keep her till I can get another. She is simply unbear able! She is insolent, lazy, slovenly, im pudent and doesn't know enough to start the kettle boiling. She' " 'You're a loir, mum!' burst upon her astonished ears, and there stood thenew girl in the doorway with her Irish up. 'An' I'll have ye understand, mum, thot I'll not stay another minutes in a house where they blackguard a poor, hard-workin' gurrel's character!' and with that she flew to her room and packed up. "Mrs. Blank has the girl now, and she never loses a chance to tell what a treas ure she has and how Mrs. Jones abuses her girls, which makes my wife simply wild." A GREAT CROWD Hears Got. Roosevelt Today at Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City, July 3. Five thou sand people packed the grand! Lttnd to hear Gov. Roosevelt today. The pro ceedings were greatly delayed on ac count of the reported dangerous con dition of the temporary wooden stand from which the governor spoke and much confusion resulted. Finally the governor himself took a. hand in the direction of affairs and order speedily resulted. Colonel Roosevelt's voice was clearly heard by the throng. His ad dress was punctuated throughout by applause and by answers to his rhetor ical questions. The speech was along the line of those delivered during the trip through Kansas yesterday except that he did not touch upon the silver question. After devoting much time to a grace ful tribute to the Rough Riders and veterans of the Spanish war and also to the members of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederate veterans present, he launched into the subject of the nation's duty in her newly acquired territory. 'I appeal to the great people of the west," he said, "I appeal to the men who fought in the civil war and to their sons who came forward when the nation again called whatever their party to see to it that the nation does not shirk its work; that the flag which has so far borne us to honor shall be upheld forever more as the flag of the greatest, mightiest na tion of mankind; that tho nation shirks from no duty where duty calls. Wherever the flag is as long as there is an armed foe against it there the Hag shall stay." (Applause.) During the afternoon Colonel Roosevelt witnessed a roping and riding tournament, a mule race, an exhibition of roping and tieing thirty wild stears, and many other sports Incident to life on the western plains. A deplorable Incident of today'3 lestivl ties was a fatal accident to Clifton George, secretary of the local commercial club, tie was thrown trom his horse ana his skull was fractured. JAPAN SENDS HELP. Famous Battleship Goes to Assistance ol the Oregon. Washington. July 23. Secretary Long this morning received the following cable gram rrom Lieutenant Ivey, naval at tache at the United States legation at To- kio, Japan, in regard to the docking of the uregon: "Toklo. July 3. 1900. "Secretary of the Navy. Washington: "Port Arthur too small. If Oregon can not dock at Nagasaki, Japanese navy de partment tenders the use of either Kure or Yokoksuka docks. Offers any assist ance desired. Has ordered Akitisushima from Che Foo to the Oregon. Have cabled Wilde offer of docks. KEY." The naval officials are disappointed at the statement that the Oregon can not dock at Port Arthur, as that place is only about sixty miles from where she struck. Nagasaki is wK) miles distant. Dut can be reached by the Oregon without venturing far outside of the smooth waters or fe Chi Li. The Japanese vessel Akitisus- himt, which Lieutenant Key reported as eoine to the help of the Oregon, is the famous cruiser which covered herself with renown at the battle of Yalu. OYERLOADED TRAINS.
